Subject: [Hearsat] Update on 144.1 MHz


Hi again,

I can now confirm the satellite on 144.1 MHz is Badr-II or an object 
associated with the launch.  I had a excellent pass at 14:20 - 14:30 
Z on Jan 23, as predicted by the keps in my last post. The signal was 
30/S9 on my Kenwood TS-790A and 5 element cross (RHP) yagi.  My 
antenna is fixed due south and without any elevation control.  It was 
also full quieting on my hand held with a rubber ducky antenna while 
the satellite was over Chicago area. I am in Colorado about 900 miles 
to the west.

This should be a easy one to bag for the beginner sat listener with a 
scanner. Good luck!

73,

Jeff
